Opera Holland Park is an opera company with a unique
voice. Based in Kensington, we present an annual festival
of fully staged productions in a setting that combines the
best aspects of urban and country house opera under one
roof.

All year round we present performances, discussions
and cultural events in partnership with local venues,
unlocking the world of opera. Through accessible pricing,
education and outreach programmes and family events we
bring critically acclaimed work to the widest possible
audience.

We believe that everyone should have access to the finest
live musical and theatrical experiences, regardless of age,
income or education. As an independent charity our
mission is to break down the traditional barriers to
experiencing opera, and to present this four hundred year-
old art form as an open, living and breathing entity, to
everyone in our local community and beyond.

We pride
ourselves on a uniquely welcoming atmosphere, on
adventurous artistic planning, on a tradition of presenting
unusual works, and on our history of nurturing and
developing the talents of singers, directors, conductors,
designers and technicians.
After 21 years as the opera company of the Royal Borough
of Kensington & Chelsea council, in 2015 we became an
independent charity.

We are now seeking a Development Manager to focus on
cultivating Major Gifts (£10k+) from individual donors to
support Opera Holland Park on the next stage of our
development.
You will need to have the ability to engage and form
relationships with high-level donors on a one-to-one basis.

Evidence of having achieved regular and sustained income
from Individuals and Major Donors
Outstanding interpersonal skills able to interact with all
levels and work as a team player
First class oral and written communications skills.
